Installing Updates on RHEL 3 & 4
Is there another way to install updates on RHEL besides using the up2date utility?
I have some systems that are not accessible to the internet.
So, when I look for the updates that are supposed to be for my system, i dont even know where to go to download them? it just keeps bringing me to the documentation for the packages...
Any help would be appreciated.
